Since I have nothing better to do right now... I'll break down why I chose my choice:
Out of the 14 songs on Revolver, 7 of them did not get 100/100 for me, and this is why (granted almost all of them got 90s):
90 Love You To: Got a 90. As much as I LOVE the instrumentation, 80% of the lyrics are ridiculous
90 Here There and Everywhere: While still a 90, it's a bit boring.
50 Yellow Submarine is in my opinion the worst Beatles song
90 And Your Bird Can Sing: This starts a string of pop songs that are alright, but get a little monotonous. By itself it's not that bad, but neither is it a 100. Fantastic bass work and the solo gives it a 90.
90 Doctor Robert - While I like the vocals, over time they bore me a bit. I also don't like the fade out.
90 I Want To Tell You: While I love the piano and the guitar part is very modern for its time. The bass and vocals are a bit boring.
90 Got To Get You Into My Life: While the vocals are interesting, the song is a bit boring for some reason. I like the horn section and the tone of the vocals, but it seems a little to simplistic lacking something to make it amazing.
Whereas....
There's not a single song on Sgt. Pepper's that I find lacking in any way, and there's something magical about it... the instrumentation, the studio work, the concept of this album going on tour for them (sometimes they'd play two shows a day they were booked so heavily).
Sgt. Pepper is just a magically perfect album for me.

Wow, that's crazy. I listen to that song in observation, can't imagine having an insiders perspective on the message.

Revolver. I honestly don't like Sgt. Pepper's very much. There are a few stellar songs, but then there is "Getting Better", which is easily one of my least favorite Beatles songs, and then "Lovely Rita", "She's Leaving Home", and "Good Morning Good Morning" are all pretty lackluster, as well. And I'm not sure I'll ever understand the grand appeal of "A Day in the Life". I really like Lennon's part, but McCartney's bit kind of kills it for me. It's an okay song, but one of the best of all time? Not sure I see it. "Within You Without You", however, is positively stunning. Then again, Harrison's songs are generally the best on any of their albums imo.
Revolver, meanwhile, is one of my favorites and an absolute masterpiece. Easy choice for me.
